Real Madrid y Sergio Ramos: leyenda, títulos y liderazgo

Leyenda madridista, Sergio Ramos es uno de los mejores jugadores de nuestra historia. Héroe de la Décima con su inolvidable gol en Lisboa en el minuto 93, es el capitán que levantó la Undécima, la Duodécima y la Decimotercera. Cuatro Copas de Europa que presiden un palmarés espectacular compuesto por 22 títulos, en el que también están 4 Mundiales de Clubes, 3 Supercopas de Europa, 5 Ligas, 2 Copas del Rey y 4 Supercopas de España.

El 8 de septiembre de 2005, con 19 años, fue presentado junto a Florentino Pérez y Alfredo Di Stéfano en el Santiago Bernabéu. Debutó dos días más tarde frente al Celta. Desde entonces, y a lo largo de sus 16 temporadas en el club, disputó 671 partidos, convirtiéndose en el cuarto jugador con más encuentros en la historia del Real Madrid, solo superado por Raúl (741), Casillas (725) y Sanchís (710). Además, marcó 101 goles, una cifra impresionante para un defensa.

Al margen de sus estadísticas, Sergio Ramos ocupará siempre un lugar importante en la leyenda madridista por protagonizar momentos históricos. Además del gol de la Décima contra el Atlético, marcó en la final de la Undécima, en las finales de los Mundiales de Clubes de 2014 y 2018 y la Supercopa de Europa 2016. También convirtió el penalti decisivo en la final de la Supercopa de España en 2020.

In his first four seasons at Real Madrid, Ramos displayed a goalscoring instinct unusual to many defenders, netting more than 20 goals overall. He also received the first nine of his 24 red cards for the club, including four in his debut season.

On 4 May 2008, he assisted Gonzalo Higuaín in the 89th minute against Osasuna in an eventual 2-1 away win, the match that sealed the club's 31st league championship. On 24 August 2008, Ramos scored in the 2008 Supercopa de España second leg against Valencia, making the score 2-1 in an eventual 4-2 and 6-5 aggregate win. Ramos was named in both FIFA and UEFA's 2008 Team of the Year, adding the FIFPro Team of the Year 2007-08 accolade.

At the start of the 2009-10 season, Ramos was appointed as one of Real Madrid's four captains. Because Pepe had suffered a serious knee injury during this campaign, Ramos was often deployed as central defender. He scored four goals in 33 league matches; and, on 21 February 2010 he played his 200th official match for Los Blancos against Villarreal (150 in the first division).

In Real Madrid's 5-0 loss at Barcelona on 29 November 2010, Ramos was sent off after kicking Lionel Messi from behind, then pushing Carles Puyol in the ensuing melée. On 20 April 2011, Ramos started in the season's Copa del Rey final, a 1-0 win against Barcelona in Valencia. On 9 January 2013, Ramos was sent off for a second bookable offense midway through the second half of an eventual 4-0 home win over Celta Vigo in the 2012-13 Copa del Rey.

On 26 April, Ramos scored a header against Osasuna in La Liga at the Bernabéu, in a counter-attack which he began with a strong tackle. It was his first goal in La Liga in six months, since his volley against Levante on match-day 8. On 29 April 2014, Ramos scored two headers in four minutes in a 4-0 away win against Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the Champions League, with the tie ending with a 5-0 aggregate score and Madrid's qualification to the final for the first time in twelve years.

Ramos started 2014-15 season on 12 August 2014 by playing the full 90 minutes in a 2-0 win against Sevilla to win their first trophy of the season, the UEFA Super Cup. He scored in both the semi-final and the final of the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup and was voted the Player of the Match in both as Real Madrid won the tournament in Morocco.

Ramos agreed a new five-year contract with Real Madrid in August 2015, tying him to the club until 2020. He was also made captain after the transfer of Casillas to Porto. On 8 November, Ramos scored his first goal of the season away to Sevilla. On 20 December 2015, Ramos captained Madrid to a 10-2 victory over Rayo Vallecano, the club's highest scoring La Liga victory in 55 years.

The following 13 March, he received his 20th red card for Real Madrid in a 2-1 win over Las Palmas, having earlier scored the game's opening goal with a header from an Isco corner kick. Real Madrid reached the 2016 UEFA Champions League Final, where they faced Atlético Madrid. Ramos once again scored in a final, putting Real ahead in the first half.

Ramos started in the 2016 UEFA Super Cup in Trondheim, scoring Real Madrid's equalizing second goal of the match in the 93rd minute, and hence bringing the game into extra-time.

On 15 January 2017, Ramos scored an own goal late in the game against Sevilla which levelled the scores at 1-1. Eventually Real Madrid lost the match 2-1 in stoppage time, thus ending their unbeaten streak at 40 matches. A week later, he scored both goals in a 2-1 win over Málaga, registering his 50th goal in La Liga.

On 11 February, in a 3-1 victory against Osasuna, Ramos played his 500th match with the club. In the UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg, Ramos scored an important equalizing header against Napoli in a 3-1 away win as Real Madrid qualified to the quarter-final after winning 6-2 on aggregate. On 12 March, Ramos scored another late header winner for Real Madrid, this time against Real Betis at the Santiago Bernabéu in a 2-1 win, taking his goal tally to 10 for the season - scoring double digit goals in a season for the first time in his career.

On 23 April 2017, Ramos was sent off for the 22nd time in his Real Madrid career and fifth time in an El Clásico, after a straight red card for a two-footed challenge on Lionel Messi during a Barcelona counter-attack in their 3-2 home defeat. Real Madrid won their 33rd La Liga title, giving Ramos his fourth league title overall and first as captain. They went on to win their first league and European Cup double since 1957-58 season, as the team defeated Juventus in the 2017 UEFA Champions League Final.

On 20 August 2017, in Real Madrid's first game of the 2017-18 La Liga, he received his 23rd career red card. It was his 18th in La Liga, a joint highest record. He went on to break that record, seeing his 19th La Liga red in a 0-0 draw with Athletic Bilbao. Ramos scored his first goal of the season on 13 September in the Champions League, scoring a bicycle kick against APOEL on match-day 1.

In La Liga, Ramos scored four goals, including two penalties - against Leganes and Sevilla. Ramos began the 2018-19 season scoring a penalty in an eventual 4-2 loss to Atlético Madrid in the 2018 UEFA Super Cup. On 25 December 2018, Ramos played his 400th La Liga match for Real Madrid in a 2-1 loss at home to Levante, becoming only the tenth Real Madrid player to reach this milestone.

After a run of poor results and the sacking of Julen Lopetegui, Ramos scored his first goal for Real Madrid in two months through a Panenka, against Real Valladolid in Santiago Solari's first 2018-19 La Liga game in charge of Los Blancos. Two weeks later, on 11 November, Ramos scored another Panenka against Celta Vigo - making them the 25th different team he scored against in La Liga. This was Ramos's third Panenka from his last four penalties, with the inventor of the penalty, Antonín Panenka, saying Ramos was the best 'imitator' of his penalty technique. With five goals in the first three months of the season, Ramos had his best goal-scoring start to a season at Real Madrid.

In the 2018 FIFA Club World Cup, Ramos played in both Real Madrid's semi-final against Kashima Antlers and the final against Al Ain. On 6 February 2019, Sergio Ramos was playing in the Clásico for the 40th time. Three days later, in the Madrid Derby against Atlético Madrid, Ramos scored his eighth penalty of the season and his 11th goal in all competitions - making it his best goal-scoring season at Real Madrid.

Four days later, in the 2-1 Champions League Round of 16 first leg away win over Ajax, Ramos became just the seventh player to play 600 matches for Real Madrid. In the match against Ajax, Ramos was booked for what seemed to be a needless challenge in the 90th minute. On 17 February, Ramos played his 601st match for Real Madrid, against Girona in La Liga, equalling the record of Real Madrid legends Fernando Hierro and Paco Gento. Ten days later, Ramos played in his 41st El Clásico, in the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg at home.

¡Lo MEJOR de SERGIO RAMOS en LALIGA!

Ramos's first goal of the season was a header in his first Champions League match of the campaign, against Club Brugge on 1 October at home. The goal came at a vital time as Real Madrid were 2-0 down by half-time but were able to make a comeback after another header by Casemiro. On 30 October, Ramos scored from the penalty-spot in a 5-0 home victory over Leganés, continuing his run of scoring in 16 straight La Liga seasons, again equalling Messi. One week later, on 6 November, Ramos scored his first penalty in the Champions League, which came against Galatasaray in a 6-0 home win.

On 12 January 2020, Ramos scored the winning penalty in a shoot-out against Atletico Madrid in the Supercopa de España final in Jeddah as Real Madrid won 4-1 on penalties after a 0-0 draw after extra time. On 26 February 2020, Ramos equalled the record of red cards received in the UEFA Champions League. On 2 July 2020, Ramos scored his fifteenth consecutive penalty for Real Madrid in the 79th minute which proved to be the winner in a 1-0 home win against Getafe - opening up a four-point advantage at the top of La Liga.

This was Ramos's ninth league goal of the season - equaling the record set by Argentine international defender Ezequiel Garay in 2006-07 while playing for Racing Santander for a defender with the most goals in a single La Liga season. The penalty against Getafe meant that Ramos had equalled his best goal scoring season (11 goals) which was set the previous season. On 27 September 2020, Ramos opened his goal count for the season after netting the winning goal against Real Betis from the penalty spot at Benito Villamarín in a 3-2 league win. One month later on 24 October in El Clasico, Ramos earned and converted a penalty at the Camp Nou in a 3-1 league win - this was his 25th consecutive penalty goal for both club and country (including shoot-outs).

Ramos's fifth El Clasico goal equaled the record of Ronald Koeman (who was in the other dugout as manager) as the defenders with the most goals in this historic fixture. On 14 January, Ramos reportedly took four pain killer injections to his left knee to play against Athletic Bilbao in the 2020-21 Supercopa de España semi-final which Real Madrid went on to lose 2-1. This was the last match Ramos would play before opting for a mid-season surgery for the first time in his career for a torn meniscus in his left knee.

He was expected to be out for two months and to return in early April, but after a speedy recovery, Ramos started against Elche on 13 March - just over a month after he went under the knife. Real Madrid's 2-1 win over Elche was Ramos's 334th La Liga win (315 with Real Madrid and 19 with Sevilla), equalling the record of Iker Casillas as the players with second-most wins in the Spanish top flight - only behind Messi. Four days later, Ramos played in a Champions League round of 16-second leg for the first time in three years as Real Madrid went on to defeat Atalanta 3-1 at the Alfredo di Stefano (5-3 on aggregate) and qualified for the quarter-finals for the first time since their last Champions League winning campaign in 2018.

Real Madrid, Sevilla y el futuro de Ramos

Con el club andaluz, Ramos ha disputado en dos ciclos un total de 87 partidos donde marcó 10 goles y dio una asistencia. No pudo ganar títulos con el Rey de la Europa League en un par de periodos que tuvieron como intermedio la era más dorada de la entidad.

El futuro de Sergio Ramos apunta a Sevilla. Veremos si como jugador o nuevo dueño de un gigante de LaLiga española en horas bajas. Mientras tanto, uno de los muchos delanteros que lo enfrentó en su etapa por Real Madrid propone que sea nuevo fichaje de la plantilla de Álvaro Arbeloa. Walter Pandiani considera que le faltan líderes a los merengues.

“El Real Madrid siempre necesita un líder y no lo tiene…Yo hubiera llamado a Sergio Ramos para que me ayudase, para que estuviera de mi lado, que defendiera mi propuesta”, empezaba en charla con Josep Pedrerol alrededor del momento de un club al cual enfrentó con entidades como Deportivo La Coruña u Osasuna. Pandiani fue consultado por un equipo lleno de juventud, talento y con cada vez menos jerarcas gracias al paso del tiempo. La marcha en los últimos 6 años de nombres como Ramos, Karim Benzema, Nacho, Toni Kroos o Luka Modric no solo considera que se siente en el césped, sino por encima de todo en el manejo de un vestuario cuestionado como nunca en cuanto a compromiso se refiere. En épocas de silbidos en el Bernabéu, Walter señala al camero como una solución a corto plazo.

El uruguayo no duda que el ex Sevilla o PSG era una carta ganadora. No solo en el césped, sino para por encima de todo levantar la vara de exigencia puertas adentro de Valdebebas. “Quizá rescatar a algún exjugador que fue jugador del Madrid y que vuelva hubiera sido bueno. Yo si fuera el entrenador habría traído a Sergio Ramos aunque jugara menos, para el día a día, para el vestuario. Defender la propuesta de Arbeloa de otra manera”.

Con la selección española y su rutina actual

Con la selección, Sergio Ramos también hizo historia al conquistar 1 Mundial y 2 Eurocopas. Sergio Ramos García (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈseɾxjo ˈramos ɣaɾˈθi.a];[A] born 30 March 1986) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back. Internationally, Ramos represented Spain from 2005 to 2021, playing at four FIFA World Cups (winning the 2010 edition) and three UEFA European Championships (winning titles in 2008 and 2012).

In 2004, Ramos became an instant hit for Spain's under-19, for whom he played six international matches. On 12 October 2005, Ramos scored his first two international goals in a 6-0 away thrashing of San Marino for the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Ramos admitted he wears the number 15 for Spain in memory of his close friend and former Sevilla teammate Puerta, who died in August 2007.

Throughout Spain's UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying campaign, Ramos was a regular member of the starting eleven as the national side finished first in its group, above Sweden. He scored two goals, including one in a 3-1 away win over Denmark, in 11 appearances. In the tournament's final stages, Ramos played in all matches and minutes, except the 2-1 group stage win against Greece.

In the final, his pass nearly set up Marcos Senna's first international goal, but the latter missed his opportunity by inches. Ramos returned to the heart of the defence for Euro 2012. When asked about his role change, he replied: "I have adapted and feel comfortable in the middle, but I am a World and European champion at right-back". He played all the games in Poland and Ukraine alongside Barcelona's Gerard Piqué, and, in the semi-finals against Portugal, he converted his penalty shootout attempt in an eventual 4-2 win (0-0 after 120 minutes), scoring for the eventual champions in Panenka-style.

Sergio Ramos cumplió 40 el pasado mes de marzo. Desde principios de diciembre de 2025, cuando vistió la camiseta del Monterrey, no juega un partido de fútbol profesional. Sin embargo, su conducta sigue intachable: entrena casi todas la semanas y, sobre todo, se alimenta de una manera adecuada para continuar en vigencia.

“Mi rutina de gimnasio son cuatro días a la semana, distribuyo los grupos musculares y empiezo cada jornada con unos 15 minutos de cardio. Todos los ejercicios se supervisan por el personal médico del club, para optimizar mi estado físico. Practico ayuno intermitente dos o tres veces por semana, entreno sin desayunar y luego me tomo un batido de proteína”, contó en una entrevista con Mundo Deportivo.

La rutina de Sergio RamosEl equilibrio es una de las bases del éxito del español, quien jugó para la selección de España -ganó el Mundial 2010-, Real Madrid y otros equipos que le dieron prestigio internacional. A raíz de estar al más alto nivel deportivo, Ramos cumple, a rajatabla, una conducta alimenticia que lo mantiene en forma a los 40.

“Alterno ensaladas con pescado y carne, tenés que tener un complemento de equilibrio porque el cuerpo necesita esos nutrientes para el mejor rendimiento. Cuando llevas tantos años con una disciplina, el cuerpo te lo pide. Yo no salgo de la lechuga, el pescado a la plancha… Incluso en vacaciones el cuerpo me pide comer bien”, expresó sobre los cuidados que mantiene a la espera de alguna oferta para continuar como jugador.

Dentro de los permitidos, Ramos incluyó los “churros con chocolate”, un menú que come cada 15 días en compañía de sus amigos. “Una vez al mes, nos damos un permitido. Un día se puede hacer. Una tortilla y un poco de fruta. Algo que tenga un poco de grasa y me sacie”, expresó.

Mientras dedica su tiempo libre a la música y al deporte, Ramos, a los 40, aguarda alguna propuesta de algún club que lo seduzca a continuar su carrera profesional o, bien, del otro lado de la línea de cal como director técnico. Por otra parte, el exjugador del Real Madrid también experimenta una faceta como empresario.
